I believe when Saints did it they won by only one point and the offence was for fielding 14 players for no longer than forty seconds. Therefore, a direct comparison between the games is relevant and therefore, the same punishment should be meted out.
I agree that there should be an open and unambiguous ruling for future offences but this should be done with full agreement with the clubs at all levels so that noone can complain about lack if consistency. You can't give a greater punishment to Salford than the precedent already set without making it clear prior to the the event imo.
Despite the outcry on the Castleford fans' forum (at least, I think it's the fans' forum; judging by what's on there, it could equally be a Ritalin User Group), I really I can't see the RFL docking points or wanting the game replayed. It would set a dangerous precedent. Where would it stop? What if a player commits an offence that should have seen him sin-binned but the referee misses it and, two minutes later, he scores the winning try? Should the team lose points? No.

Saints lost by a point when they fielded 14 so the comparison falls down.
